An Ethnographer's Record



Black Petals
Issue 40 (Summer 2007), pp. 46-8

My short story An Ethnographer's Record, a slightly unreal tale of celluloid and shamanism, was published in Black Petals. Slightly cramped between a cluster of poems, but preceeded by a full-page, custom illustration. I like. It's a classy magazine, and they've handled it well. Thanks.

Alone in the World

The Harrow
Vol 10, No 3 (March 2007)

This story, a ghostly tale about loneliness and alienation, has been published by the very prestigious magazine The Harrow, about which I'm hugely chuffed! They asked me to change the title, which was orginally 'World Full of Ghosts', because they felt it rather gave the game away. I struggled for a while with that thought, mainly because I couldn't think of anything else that caught quite the tone I thought the original did, but I think 'Alone in the World' actually does it. (Thanks also to the readers of the BSFA Orbiter group for invaluable advice on this story.)
